Yes I know the title is an oxymoron, but what sales industries are pretty secure in the current and forseeable conditions?

Car sales is out as the industry isn't in the best shape right now.

I know every job I go for I will be told that the industry is in fantastic shape right now and it's a great opportunity but I just want a heads up as to what ones to really avoid as they are on their arse.

How about IT sales? Recruitment? Financial?

Cheers in advance

Yes they do... BUT not prepared to pay for it! Supermarkets putting extra pressure on suppliers against increased costs... Trust me, there will be food businesses going down the pan in this recession too!

I reckon that being a sales person for a debt collection agenmcy will be your best bet...

Sorry not very +ve!

Bah humbug!

True, but food prices are heading downwards in the forseeable future.
